Andrew Hamilton
Environmental Fluid Mechanics
Research interests
I am currently a Ph.D candidate in Environmental Fluid Mechanics at UBC. My doctoral research focuses on the role of ocean dynamics on glacier and ice shelf stability in the Arctic. I am also active in the utilization of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to measure ocean properties in regions that are otherwise inaccessible, like in the ocean cavities beneath 100 m thick floating glacial ice shelves.
I am part of the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Group at the University of British Columbia.
